Lluís Coloma, solo piano
Blues, Boogie Woogie, Jazz
Lluís Coloma playing solo reveals a deeper side of this virtuous and renowned Barcelona pianist. Over the years, for Lluís, the piano has become an extension of his own body, the perfect instrument to express himself in a natural, spontaneous, and unique way. Solo in front of the piano, Lluís creates his own compositions, interprets some personal favorites, and paints surprising textures, always imbued with Blues and Boogie Woogie, which are the roots of his very varied influences. He's created a cocktail of styles that over time has become his own signature sound, where each theme is a landscape within his own musical universe.
